“Which is better for overbite braces or Invisalign?”
I am a 25 year old female. I want to know which is better for overbite braces or Invisalign?

I prefer traditional metal braces to fix bite issues. This is because metal braces are working 24/7 to move teeth, where as invisalign is only working around 22 hrs and is subjective to how disciplined the patient is as changing the aligners at home. Metal also moves back teeth more predictably, so in the case of an overbite, you need to be able to pull the lower jaw forward or move the upper teeth back which requires heavy forces to be placed on back teeth.
This is a decision your orthodontist and you together will have to make. Not all overbite cases are treated the same.
What’s most important is to wear the rubber bands.
Your dentist will have to evaluate you for that.
Invisalign is better in every way. I can't stress it enough!!
You will not be able to correct the overbite through invisalign. Traditional brackets are necessary to correct this and depending on the severity of the overbite oral surgery may be necessary. Do Not do invisalign. Will not help
If you are very good at keeping track of little things and taking great care of your teeth wherever you go, then in general both braces and Invisalign are good options for correcting overbite. However, everyone's teeth, bite, and growth patterns are different and many particular circumstances require careful considerations of one or the other; some conditions are very hard to correct with Invisalign alone. Therefore, be sure to consult with your orthodontist to get the right answer for your teeth!
